Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 cup butter chicken sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon graham masala
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of your favorite bread
- Butter for toasting

Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with yogurt, minced ginger, minced garlic, graham masala, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of oil, and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly browned.
- Pour in the butter chicken sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the flavors meld.
Step 3: Prepare the Bread:
- While the chicken is cooking, butter one side of each bread slice. Toast the bread in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out four slices of toasted bread, buttered side down. Spoon a generous portion of the butter chicken mixture onto each slice.
- Add optional toppings like sliced tomatoes or lettuce if desired. Top with another slice of toasted bread, buttered side up.
Step 5: Final Touch:
- Press the sandwiches together gently. If you prefer, you can grill the assembled sandwiches for a minute or two on each side to achieve a crispy exterior.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish:
- Place the Butter Chicken Sandwiches on a serving plate. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
